Doc007 Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Does anyone have the solution to the problem of the manual pop riveter’s “nose” being too wide to snug the rivet down into the base of the female component of a durable dot fastener base? I’ve tried a stack of tiny washer and a short length of ali tube which worked initially but then was itself squashed. Theres got to be a simple solution to this! Without buying a new tool,,, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECR Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Well if you have a lathe or know someone who has, get the nose of the tool turned down. A couple of small nuts worked for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without buying a new tool,,, I'd try again with nuts rather than washers or a tube, as above. Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ainsley Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 I used a tiny nut. It didn't get squashed and only one nut was needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
